Old Man's 66 Cuda Funnycar build
Well to start with I now have parts but the weather is something else here right now . June was the hottest month in the last 130 years . Tucson saw 119 several days , July looks a little better but to day is 109 . I have done a few small things and went thru some changes on the car in my mind ,..Finished up the turn signal bezels in front , used some silver tape in the bulb recess , this should reflect the amber bulb better than the silver paint I started with . Put the inside trim inside the back of the car . had to trim it down and give it some clearance for the wheel tubs , I want to use dyno mat on the tubs along with some black carpet when I finish it up .
I am going to add a few more pieces of roll cage tubing to the rear of the car . In the picture the ratchet straps are there to give me an idea what it would look like with more tubing in place . The reason for more cage is for added support , I will cut the 2x4 frame and add an exhaust port for the 3 inch tubes for the mufflers to go thru .
Also looked at the fuel tank looks like I will have to shim up the rear of the tank 1 1/2 inches , this will get the tank level in the car , it's a 20 gallon tank but with it not level when you get to a 1/4 of a tank full 3 gallons will be in the front of the tank
Also picked up a few more parts .
A K&N air filter to upgrade the one that came with the injector style air filter .
A 3 ft shifter cable , The one I have was 5 ft long and way to big .
A 31151 Milodon oil pan . The old one I have was from a dragster or old funny car , was to deep and hung down to low . The new on is 1 1/2 shorter and will hold 7 qts of oil .
At least I will not have to hold my breath when I go over a speed bump .
